I'm looking for a 2-book set entitled "The Kingdom of Ys", which I bought from the Sci-Fi Book Club sometime in the 80's to early 90's; I'm sorry I gave it away and would like to read it again. If you have a copy, please contact me: will purchase and pay the shipping. Thanks!</p> Hi!

I am going to put all the authors together in a group, do up a small "story" and photo and then, maybe, sell somehow. They are all in pretty good condition. Many of them a so old that the original price was $0.10. I am also a science fiction over and have read a majority of these books to. Such a shame to have to sell them but I am running out of room !</p> I too have come into boxes and boxes of very old Science Fiction books from my late father.
